How to Find Scholarly or Peer-Reviewed Articles

2) Next, enter your keywords. Generally try to use between 2-4 keywords. Need help choosing keywords? Use this guide on how to choose keywords to get the best search results!
3) You can also try using the library's databases. All databases have a box you can check to limit to peer-reviewed or scholarly sources. Databases provide more search options than OneSearch.
